found it to be such a good practice to look for anything and everything to be

thankful for............seriously it just makes me a much happier person.It keeps me focused on the good things that are happening in my liferather than the negative, in fact, it is helping me not to see the negativeas much anymore!! And that my friends, is a good thing!! lol

What parent doesn't love that!! lol*#4I am thankfulthat I can and do enjoy my life so much, cause it hasn'talways been that way for a good many years, especiallywhen I was going thru menopause. I truly had a wretchedtime of it, and I used to wonder where I went and whothis woman was that I didn't like very much!!*

#5I am thankfulthat Sue over at "where memories are made" is feelingso much better.*#6I am thankful for all you dear sweet encouragingladies that come by almost daily and leave suchsweet and encouraging comments, but most ofall for the pen pal type friendship that we have!I just love it!!*#7I am thankfulthat we are having a simple dinner tonight, and that the Lord has been teaching me over the lastyears to make things simple yet elegant.I think a little elegance makes people feel veryspecial, and I love to make people feel special.It is a true gift and a wonderful thing to feel that way!!*#8I am thankfulthat I feel soooo loved by the Lord, because Ican't say I have always felt that way, oh I alwaysknew he loved me, but I feel like I have grown toknow it in a much greater way that ever before.*#9I am thankfulfor all the things the Lord has taught me over theyears spiritually, emotionally, financially, culinarily,(new word) lolcreatively, and on and on!!*#10I am thankful for holidays like Valentine's day, and of course,all the others, just because it gives us reasonsto celebrate, and I believe God loves to seehis people celebrate, if you don't believe me just check out the old testament in the Bible and seeall of the festivals and celebrations that they had.Plus when I was growing up we didn't celebratea lot, my Mom was a single parent and was exhausted and many times worked on holidaysto make extra money to support us!!

Aww being Thankful is really good for the spirit :) I am thankful that I have a roof over my head, and a heater. I am thankful for the food we have, and that our family loves us enough to help us out. :)

Valentine's pinks, purples, reds, and whites,Remind me of the coming shorter nights! I am so glad the days are getting longer!#1. I'll be thankful when I get through tomorrow's Valentine's Day at school! It's always fun, but you're glad when it's over... with so many excited, loud, and vociferous kids! lol!#2. Straightening up the house, I think I'll nap on that one, lol!#3. I have an extra "child" for the next 5 days. I'm sitting Tia for Alice and Boddy. She is staying at my house. She gets along well with the other "kids!"#4. I'm looking toward enjoying my life more when I can retire. Until then I'll stress along, ha!#5. I'm so thankful we can bring our friends before the LORD in prayer! What a joy when we hear of those feeling better!#6. Isn't it great that we can have an immediate pen pal response!! I remember when we had the "snail mail" pen pals. It took forever sometimes to hear back from them!#7. (KISS) Keep It Simple Sister! I agree with you! I may be doing simple to the extreme, lol!#8. I am so thankful for those times that the stress of work can be forgotten and I can enjoy myself to the "N th" degree!#9. Spiritual growth brings about harmony with our LORD. It can be hard sometimes when the flesh wants to war with the spirit. I'm so thankful the Holy Spirit is there to comfort and guide!#10. Eternity is going to be a continuous celebration! I'm so glad it starts now and leads right into the unimaginable (Eye has not seen...)#11. I'm thankful I'll have 3 days to enjoy the warmth of my cozy den!#12. I'm so thankful for my return to health after a month of "off on a tangent" direction from meds a doctor had me on! I'm feeling great! I am now able to sleep from 9 at night to 5:30 in the morning!HAVE A GREAT VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hi Nellie,I am so thankful for the privilege of being a mother. Though my children both live so far away I cherish the 18 years we had together under one roof, the grace that GOD showered upon us and the memories of wonderful times as we all grew. Though I miss them desperately, I realize that not every woman has the opportunity to mother. Thank You LORD.

Hi Nellie,Thank you for sharing your thankful list, and for your prayers for me. I am doing so well. Just reading your thankful list touches my heart. You truly have a thankful heart.
